Creative Challenge: RED

Our new challenge theme starting today is RED. Yes, it is just in time for Valentines Day, but isn't red wonderful just for its own sake? I hope you'll enjoy using this warm passionate color!

I tend toward the "cooler" colors of blue and green and purple myself, but who can resist a lovely rich burgundy wine red, a cheerful cherry red, or a sassy pop of fire-engine red? It warms you up on a cold day and certainly grabs your attention. I love red birds and red poppies and roses, cherries and apples and cranberries and strawberries, the deep dark red of wine. I am very fond of red shoes! And I wish I had a red cape like the little girl above.

So, Valentines or not, get inspired by the color red and get creating. Feature Red somehow in your creation, and then link it up for the fun of sharing and for a chance to win the drawing... use a Lunagirl image and double the chances your entry will win!

Here are the guidelines:

Any craft or medium is OK.

Vintage style is encouraged.

Use a Lunagirl image or element and your entry will count twice in the drawing!

Remember to link to this blog and to Lunagirl.com on your site if you have one.

Prize: Winner will be selected randomly to receive a $15 credit at Lunagirl.com!

Challenge ends at noon CST on Thursday, February 19.

I love it when you use Lunagirl images, and I hope you'll go take a look at my collections... but that's not a requirement! But do remember that if you use a Lunagirl image, you will be entered TWICE in the drawing! I welcome everyone and every style but also want to give a little something extra to my wonderful customers! Most important is have fun, get creative, enjoy vintage. DON'T MISS THE INSPIRATION FROM THE DESIGN TEAM BELOW!

"Not only is this card for the challenge "Red" , but it is also for Wear Red Day. I am planning on sending it to a friend who is also fighting cancer with chemo. The background was cut from paper I had used to clean my brayer of acrylic paint. It is cut into strips and then combined for the background. I used black behind the image to make her pop. I think my friend will like this."
